Mija & I were craving oysters, so we walked to the Taylors on Capitol Hill near our hotel. She, another rellie & I shared a dozen oysters, caesar salad, steamers and moqueca (Brazilian seafood stew | $26) and bread ($5) - not all items pictured. First of all, the oysters were outstanding! They have tanks here, so the person who takes your order picks your oysters. The oysters were uber fresh, briny and succulent. Secondarily, the salad was large and a nice palate cleanser w/ the lemon and fresh anchovies. The blonde waitress was really nice and brought me more anchovies. Next was the steamers (clams & mussels). Both shellfish were super fresh and cooked in a mild broth. The only thing missing was some frites. Lastly, the moqueca had a rich broth, and a little bit of rice to balance the broth. There was a ton of fresh seafood, and we dipped the sourdough baguette to mop up the broth. Regarding the ambiance, its open and casual. The tanks are in the center and you can see all the fresh seafood inc dungeness crabs. We interacted w/ three staff, and they were all super friendly & warm. We appreciated the great service, and were happy to pay the 18.9% service charge. Taylor has a few locations in Seattle, and I believe you can also do a tasting tour at their actual farms. After my experience, its no wonder they've been in biz since 1890. read more

Got lucky on a Saturday afternoon when Google said "no wait," so we bolted over. "Table" turned out to be a couple of bar stools, but for two people it worked fine. We ordered the geoduck chowder, a dozen oysters, a mixed half-mussel / 青口 plate, baked oysters, and a lemon drop for my wife. Everything landed pretty much as expected. The chowder tasted like a lighter, slightly sour clam chowder--watery side of things, but I liked it, especially with the bread for dipping. Wife's lemon drop was... polite. More lemon than drop. The only real sour note wasn't on the menu: the automatic 20% service charge. Tips used to be optional appreciation. Now they're just payroll with extra steps. Nothing blew us away, nothing disappointed hard. Solid 4 stars. read more

10 out of 10!!! The Brazilian Shellfish Stew!!!!! I'm still thinking about it. PACKED with flavor!!! The tomato/coconut milk broth had just the right amount of heat. I dipped the warm crispy buttered baguette into the broth for the perfect bite. Mussels, clams, prawn, cod, veggies.... Every bite was delicious. Service was great! The dining area is small but felt large. Really cool vibe to the place. There were a few small tables on the sidewalk outside. I sat at the bar along the front window and people watched as I devoured some oysters and that amazing stew. Parking wasn't too bad either. I easily found street parking. read more

Taylor Shellfish, Pioneer Square, 410 Occidental Ave., Seattle, WA 98104 During a five-hour break from the time Amtrak's Empire Builder arrived in Seattle until its Cascades departed for Vancouver, I had time to enjoy a leisurely meal at Taylor Shellfish in Pioneer Square. Located a few blocks from Amtrak's King Street Station, Taylor Shellfish offered an inviting mix of lunch and dinner menu items. In its website, we learn that this is the brand's Oyster Saloon "because it is the perfect place to enjoy our specialty cocktails or a drink of your choice from our extensive bar offerings with freshly shucked oysters during an after work happy hour." I was looking for a light lunch, and selected Classic Clam Steamers, served in a shallot, butter, garlic and white wine broth ($19). Fit the bill perfectly. The seating was ample, vibe was friendly (FIFA's World Cup was in full gear), conversations were easy to participate in, and service was excellent. Restroom was clean, the Saloon was well-lit, and the bar was well-stocked. read more

This place came up on our yelp search for whole crabs, which we need to have while visiting Seattle. The creamy dip in the head crab shell got us intrigued, so we headed there for dinner. After a short wait for a table, we got seated and got our waters. The server gave us a run down of the popular items, one of which was their sampler for MP ($160). It has a dozen oysters, a whole crab, geoduck, shrimp cocktail, and more. Good deal for sharing. That was way to much food, so we just ordered the whole crab and geoduck sashimi. We also got a couple side orders of rice. The crab was pretty small to share, but it was fresh. The dip was pretty good. The crab "fat" flavor was a little too subtle, but it was still a tasty dip for the crab meat. I had imagined that it would be a kind of crab chowder, but it's more of a mayonnaise mixture. I thought $71 for the crab was a bit pricey though. The geoduck sashimi was really good. There were portions of both the siphon and belly fat. This isn't a typical menu item, so I was glad they offered it. The staff is so friendly. They made us feel at home. I wish they could just hang and chat with us lol. They were so busy though. Anyway, we were satisfied with our meal and enjoyed our time there. read more

Located slightly downhill from the Summit, the business has been doing "from tide to table" in the PNW since the early 1890s, now with 5 restaurant/markets scattered in Washington. This smaller spot is focused on oysters, served fresh & straightforward with 5 options + choice of Ikura (salmon roe) and a simple mignonette. The Tuna Tostada has great flavor but is short on fish & overpriced. An Emerald City Baked Oyster was also very nice, not remarkable for the price. Service was hot & cold, like the food!

Visiting Seattle for the first time, I was really looking forward to coming here after looking up some places that were popular for some seafood or highly recommended. Upon walking in, we noticed the server was pretty quick to take the initiative to push a couple high tops together since most of the tables only sat 2. We also had a child with us so he offered us a booster seat. I feel like that was the last time we were treated pleasantly. Our server was very dry and direct when he approached us. I told him my husband has celiac and his response was "Ok." I followed up with so can you tell us what options we have that are Gluten free friendly? (Didn't think I needed to ask after mentioning a severe allergy) He just stepped away and looked like he was trying to find out from someone in the kitchen. He came back shortly after and gave us our options. We ordered a few different things to share, oysters, the fish dip and mussels tostada. The vibe we got was that he did not enjoy serving us because we had a child with us and I seem to be asking him too many questions. That is the impression he left with us. I will say the oysters were very fresh and enjoyable. We also got the crab Mac n cheese which was cheesy and tasty. We asked him for some more chips since we ran out quickly for the smoked oyster dip. He seemed annoyed but got us more. I could overhear that he sounded more pleasant with the other guests surrounding us. The mussels tostada flavors were nice but I didn't love the texture of them which is totally just my preference. He dropped off the check shortly after and noticed there was a 18% gratuity which I found out is standard for downtown Seattle. Being in the industry I do think it's a courtesy to mention it when dropping off the check to a guest. On another note, I did think the seafood tank in the center was cool because you could see all the geoduck and oysters they were offering. Overall, I think we wanted to enjoy our experience more but the servers attitude and demeanor towards us was off putting and we just tried to eat quickly and leave. Don't think we'll return to this location. read more

Dropped by on a Friday afternoon for happy hour after walking around Emerald City Comic Con all morning. Their happy hour runs from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday; we arrived around 2:30 and the place was packed. We had to wait about 15-20 minutes to be seated. ​From the happy hour menu, we ordered: ​Oysters of the Day: The Beach Glass and Kumamoto were today's oysters, so we ordered six of each at $2.25 apiece, which was a pretty good deal. The Kumamoto is on the sweeter side and went down nice and smooth. The Beach Glass was firmer with more of a chew. Both were really tasty and super fresh. Geoduck Chowder: The chowder itself is not too heavy and was really tasty. People are probably used to having clams in their chowder, but geoduck is a great alternative. We ordered this with a side of bread. ​Smoked Oyster Dip: This one is very creamy and savory, and it tasted great with the smoked oysters in it. It came with potato chips, which were fine, but since the dip is already salty, the chips made it even saltier. It goes down really well with a pint of beer, but we ended up eating it with our side of bread from the chowder, which paired better than the chips in my opinion. ​From the regular menu, we decided to order the Crab Mac and Cheese. They used a smoked Beecher's cheese sauce which was great, but it seemed to overpower the crab meat. It isn't a dish I would recommend for the crab. ​Overall, happy hour at Taylor's is still a great deal and a must-visit for fresh oysters. read more

This must be the best time for oysters in Seattle in February 2026 as the selection and taste was exceptional at Taylor Shellfish. We initially were going to the Pioneer Square location but couldn't find a parking spot after circling a few times; I really wanted to go there as I've never been to this location. We came to this location and there is parking just across the street with easy access to this location. Love that the oysters are in tanks in the seating area and such a fresh smell. We ordered the sampling of most of the oysters and all were great and a few were fantastic. What really made this visit over the top fantastic was that they had fresh SEA URCHIN that was incredible. Not sure if this is normal to have sea urchin, but we scored this time. Definitely, Taylors is a fantastic place to eat oysters and has got better as we've gone to Taylors for years. read more

My hubby is an oyster fan and we've frequented this location whenever we visit Seattle. There's always a huge crowd and line, but just go up to the host desk, check in, and they'll text you when a table is ready. We had a very brief wait on a Friday night. The staff here is so friendly, and while the restaurant serves some other seafood, oysters are their specialty. They have cool tanks right in the middle of the restaurant so you can see how fresh the oysters are. It's expensive, but on par with prices of fresh, raw oysters. Hubby got a dozen variety and loved them. They were so fresh, looked great and smelled like the ocean. I don't eat raw oysters, but he recommends the variety platter so you can try all sorts of different oysters. Note that all of the oysters served here are farm raised. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I know some food snobs would be horrified by that, LOL. Although I don't eat oysters (I've had shrimp here before that was okay), I almost always get a glass of champagne. They have a good drink menu although I find the pours are a bit stingy. Come here with money because it's pricey. A dozen oysters and a glass of champagne ran us $80. Also pay close attention to your check because the restaurant automatically adds a 19% service charge to your bill. read more

Taylor Shellfish Farms - You see all of this magic I cannot name it all! - Seafood Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Taylor Shellfish Farm is, as the name suggests, a Shellfish Farm. Would I consider it a restaurant? Not really. Ambiance is casual, with the shellfish in the middle of the room it makes it feel like you're eating at a seafood market. Service is friendly and they check in from time to time. My partner and I got the Shucker's dozen, some additional kumamotos, and the soy and wasabi geoduck. When it came to the oysters, they were all typical of west coast oysters: meaty, crisp, sweet and refreshing. But because of this, the differences in flavor were very subtle and after a few oysters, they started to get a little bland. And while they provide a mignonette and lemon, the oysters may work a little better as dressed oysters rather than eaten straight off the half-shell. The only oysters I would consider having standalone are the kumamotos. While I do appreciate the quality of the other oysters standalone, I wouldn't have them as the star of a meal. The geoduck is similar to the oysters: fresh and sweet but better as an appetizer than a standalone dish. The white wine that we ordered to go with our shellfish was also nothing to write home about. So when I say Taylor Shellfish Farms is a Shellfish Farm and not a restaurant, I mean it's not your trendy oyster bar with cocktails, vibes, and a curated list of 30 of the best oysters from around the world/across the country. I think a better way to showcase these oysters is by dressing them or getting creative with them, because I wouldn't go out of my way to have a meal here. read more

Unfortunately, I got super sick from the oysters here... I got a dozen on happy hour and I don't remember what kind they were but I was pleasantly surprised that they were so large. But bigger doesn't always mean better (and I live in Texas).... The oysters weren't that flavorful and were a bit on the chewier side. I can usually down a dozen oysters easily but I should've known something was up when I was losing my appetite after half a dozen. I didn't order anything else so my experience is only based on HH oysters. Anyways, the service was also super slow from getting seated to flagging someone down to order and to grabbing the check even though they weren't busy at all. The place is super cute though and if by curious to see how the main dishes are. But like I said, I got sick so I don't think I'll be back. read more

The food was good! We had the Shuckers Dozen oysters and the Fresh NW Dungeness Crab. The oysters were as fresh as they can get and they have a wide variety available. The Shuckers Dozen is a variety of the oysters they have. You can see all the oysters being kept fresh in tanks in the middle of the restaurant! The crab was served with a delicious housemade sauce, but the cold crab is a little different to me (I'm used to hot steamed crab!), but we ate it all up easily! The service was amazing. They were extremely friendly, checked in often and had super fast service! They were also knowledgeable about their products and talked us through their oyster farm and each variety! We were also able to get a table immediately, but it was busy on a sunday night. People coming in and out while were there. The ambience is totally laid back and casual. They play some sports, and have a relaxed dress code. read more

+ Exotic cuisine. I saw the geoduck recommended for tourists on YouTube and I had to try it. The geoduck itself is crunchy. + The medium you choose adds to the experience. For example, the sashimi gives you the full crunchy texture feel of the geoduck, while the chowder option gives you a warmer, homey feel. + Polite staff. + On Sunday at 3pm, I was seated right away. + Nice window view of the street outside. . Despite the photos you see online of the actual geoduck, they don't actually sell you a whole geoduck to eat there. They'll chop it up and serve in bit-size portions. - A bit extortionate. It's kind of fair though, given the illustrious geoduck. - However, you also have the 18.90% obligatory service charge. Whew! Exorbitant overall. I had: $20 Geoduck Sashimi soy/wasabi + $10 Geoduck chowder + 18.9% service charge + tax = $39.37 read more

Prawns were sizable and the sauce gave it good flavor. The crabs were pre-broken it in making it easy to get the good bits of meat. They offer some good white wine options that pair well. Service is solid and they have their oyster stations in the center for your viewing pleasure. Only cool is they share a bathroom with marketplace next door. read more

Great spot for very fresh seafood! I stopped by for the first time since I was nearby. We were seated right away and our waiter introduced the menu to us. We decided on the oyster sampler which was 2x of the six types if oysters they have and perfect for 2 people to share. All the oysters are super fresh and tasty. The waiter all mentioned they have fresh uni that day so we decided to get it. The uni is bigger than I expected and easily the highly. It tasted very fresh and creamy and goes well on toasts. Prices are reasonable for the quality of seafood. Service is very attentive. Overall I definitely would come back,especially for the uni. read more

Capitol Hill is home too many of Seattle's best restaurants, and Taylor Shellfish Farms is certainly among their most popular. Serious seafood enthusiasts can get some of the Pacific Northwest's freshest catches here and enjoy what so many others have. The place is small and the first thing one might notice is the odor from the various live seafood tanks they have going non-stop. Seating can be a bit tight and while groups can definitely work, reservations are almost always encouraged. Ventilation isn't the best and despite the lack of warm weather in Seattle, it can still feel a bit stuffy inside. Seafood is never going to be a bargain, especially in today's foodflation first economy. This is definitely a place where splurging happens and it starts with the table menu QR code. I really enjoyed their chowder, despite the fact it was a tinge watery. The geoduck sashimi ($22) was on point. Their shucker's dozen oysters ($43) were on the smaller side, but tasty no less. I was extremely excited to try their moqueca ($26), my favorite Brazilian seafood stew, which had chunks of clams, scallops, fish, and shrimp. The chilled dungeness crab ($49) was also tasty but like any crustacean, quite a bit of work just to get some meat. The crab roll ($28) came with a crunchy side of chips, which I'd recommend pairing with a wine from their oustanding selection. One of the highlights of our meal was the service. They were prompt and on point throughout the entire experience. I felt they were good with the recommendations and professional. That said, service charges (18.9%) are already included in the bill, which is kind of a drag. Ultimately, I'd love to try more things from their menu but I think I'll save up for next time I'm back in Seattle. (#1) ___________ (#1) Might need to break the piggy bank. read more

We came here because we wanted to try some fresh oysters while visiting Seattle. The place is small and super casual but it's perfect for dropping by for a quick little snack. We ordered the Kumamoto oysters which were fresh and sweet. I personally prefer smaller oysters because they're easier to eat so these were perfect. We also ordered Uni which came with some toast and I REALLY liked how they paired together. The toast was thin and crispy and the Uni was very creamy.

Side quest of the day was picking up oysters to shuck at home. Taylor Shellfish probably has some of the most reasonably priced oysters out there and the quality is just as solid. I got a mix of Pacific oysters, Kumamoto, Suma Kumamoto, and Shikoku oysters. All were super tasty and not overly briny. If you ever do takeout, it's really convenient, they bag and ice everything for you, ready to go. Just a heads up, you'll need to know how to shuck oysters yourself. they also sell oyster shuckers if you need one. read more

We came here for happy hour last weekend. We had a group of 6 folks and we were the second Asian group in the store. Upon entering the store, a lady came and asked us how many people we had and went to prepare our table. Later on a man wearing a Taylor shirt with a gray streak in his hair & earrings came by and asked us: "Who is eating an oyster?" We said "some of us might eat oysters." He said with the straightest face (as in not a joke) said "can the people who are not eating leave?" we didn't know how to respond so he added "I'm giving you the biggest table during my happy hour." And then the lady came back to seat us. Maybe he owns the store? While we still had a great time since this man doesn't bother us, it left a bad taste in the sweet oysters we ordered. We ordered surf clams, a bottle of white wine, Dungeness crab, & 2 dozen oysters. Throughout our time there, this man didn't serve us again so we had a great time and our servers were amazing! I hope no other group has to go through this experience. read more

I had this bookmarked for a while and what a great experience! Super fresh seafood and great service in a casual seafood spot. The live seafood in the tanks is the centerpiece of the restaurant. Geoduck Sashimi - this shellfish isn't on very many menus in LA, but many in Seattle! The geoduck is super fresh with subtle flavored crunchy bites. This is one of my top 5 favorite seafood. The Peruvian Leche de Tigre sauce gives Thai curry vibes. Masterful! I may have come back shortly after my 1st visit just for this! So delicious! Dungeness Crab - oh how I love crab and Dungeness is my favorite as it is sweet, clean and easy to eat. And it's even easier when it is pre-cracked for you here! They know how to do it where you don't need additional tools! And their house OMG Sauce is OMG!! Similar to crab fat aioli. Mmmmmm Macrina Baguette - crusty baguette, it was perfect to eat with the OMG sauce. Kumamoto Oysters - fresh and sweet oysters in the half shell. The mignonette was okay. I liked the clean flavor of just a squeeze of lemon. Yum! Blood Orange Margarita - this was okay bit watered down. Service was very good on my first visit but lacked a bit on my second visit. You can also order your live seafood to go. Parking is available on the street. It's located near the Starbucks Roastery. Definitely recommended! read more

What's a trip to Seattle without oysters? We enjoyed everything we ordered, but the smoked oyster dip and shuckers dozen were especially tasty.

Can't believe I missed this spot the last time I was visiting Seattle. Let's just say this is a now must spot to visit whenever coming to this city!

The have happy hour from 2-4pm on Monday - Friday on selective things including a rotation of types of oysters that day and other seafood delights! Came around 1:50pm and the place was empty, but as it became closer to HH the restaurant was filling up! The waitress that help us was really nice and informational when it came to what type of oysters were some favorites. I opted in the HH special which were $2.25 each!

Having been here about 10 years ago, I wanted to revisit Taylor Shellfish to see if much had changed and I was seeking out their Geoduck sashimi which is actually pretty hard to come by where I'm from. Taylor Shellfish was just as I remembered tucked away in a small side street on Melrose with tanks of fresh shellfish and wasn't too crowded even at midday. Ordered the Geoduck Sashimi, a dozen oysters and a clam chowder. The geoduck sashimi was sweet, crunchy as I remembered but comparing photos seems like the cuts and portions are much more generous this time around. The oysters offered were fresh, clean tasting and sweet. Ended up getting the shucker's dozen and wasn't mad about it, everything was great! The clam chowder here is different, if you're used to a chunky or thick chowder, theirs is more on the thin side. Comes with bread, but is well seasoned and had a smokiness to it. Your mileage may vary when it comes to the chowder here. Indoor seating is at the high top tables or bar. Service was straightforward and they aren't smothering, which I appreciated. Great options for happy hour or if you're in the food for the freshest oysters, the oysters are definitely the star here. read more
